We had an adventure on Friday evening, the 27th. Marlene has been very worried about how and where to get her hair cut, now that she is in Moscow. (I married my barber so this is no issue for me.) Anyway we discovered a few days ago that there is a beauty salon on the first floor of our large apartment building. We stopped in to see them a couple of days ago, to see what the joint looked like and to see if anyone could speak English. The place looked nice but no one spoke much English. Nevertheless we were able to make an appointment for Friday evening at 1800 hours.
Friday afternoon Marlene took Olga from the office to the shop to see if Olga could explain to the stylist what was on Marlene's mind. Apparently the explanation worked wonderfully because Marlene says that she got a wonderful hair cut and styling.
It was okay, actually, not bad ... or is that the same description? The Lord will bless her for trying.
There is a McDonald's at the metro exit we use to get to church. I opined to Marlene as we walked toward it this afternoon, that we could solve all of my food needs if we could just eat at McDonald's on the way home from church each week. I don't think I closed the sale.
Speaking of McDonald's here are a couple of more pictures from our jaunt there a week ago Saturday.
The lady to the right of my bald head spent her time in the restaurant putting on her make up.
This is her with her cute son. He is about four I guess.
Marlene tried to get a picture of him chugging from that one liter bottle of Coke, but he noticed her trying to get his picture and would duck each time he saw her trying to capture him.
We told the mom her son was cute as we left our table. She did not seem to understand our English, but we ended up both leaving the restaurant at the same time and we saw her outside pulling him on this little sled we signaled that we would like to take his picture. She agreed, but he remained shy and would not look at us directly.
Below is the counter at Mickey D.'s as we were leaving. I suggest you buy some stock.

Here is the shop as seen from the waiting area. What is fairly interesting is that you would never guess these tiled walls and marble floor would be inside the exterior door. |
Here is Marlene and Nadia starting the process. I had exiled myself to the waiting area to read hair style magazines and watch a little porn on the TV. (I averted my eyes to the magazines.) |

More rinnicks just to the right of the previous photo. |
I'm glad mom now has a stylist! What a relief.
